Nangong and his brother had long known that Duan Lingtian was very talented in Martial Dao. Now that he had come to the Inner Land, it meant that he was quite powerful as well.
However, being powerful did not mean he could deal with the black-robed old man before them.
The black-robed old man was at the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage.
Both of them had a fortuitous encounter since they came to the Inner Land. Currently, they were only at the Fifth and Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage. They were far from being comparable to the black-robed old man.
They did not even think that Duan Lingtian was stronger than them, let alone the black-robed old man.
Therefore, they did not want Duan Lingtian to be dragged into this.
"Both of you can't even protect yourselves, and you still have the time to care about other people? What a joke! "
The black-robed old man sneered. Then, his black robe fluttered, and he seemed to have transformed into a black bat as he charged toward Duan Lingtian. "Boy, I'll let you know the price of meddling in other people's business!"
His speed was so fast that Nangong Yi could not react at all.
In just a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Nangong Chen who was standing in front of Duan Lingtian. He lifted his hand and injured Nangong Chen before knocking him away.
The difference between the Seventh Level Martial Monarch Stage and the Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage was obvious.
"Barf!"
After Nangong Chen was knocked away, horror dawned on his face, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
When he looked at the black-robed old man again, he noticed that the black-robed old man had already arrived in front of Duan Lingtian. He slapped his palm out, and the Spirit Weapon glove shone brightly as though it was assisted by God.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
The black-robed old man slapped his palm at Duan Lingtian. The wind from his palm swept out and caused the air to ripple. The rolling airwaves turned into gusts of strong wind that blew Duan Lingtian's purple robe and black hair.
"Watch out!"
At once, horror dawned on Nangong and his brother. They cried out at the same time to warn Duan Lingtian.
Now, it was already too late for them to rescue him.
Above the black-robed old man's head were four silhouettes of ancient black dragons. He struck out a palm strike with a ferocious momentum towards Duan Lingtian. It was only a short distance away from Duan Lingtian.
Even at this point, Duan Lingtian still had no intention of dodging.
As he stood there, strands of faint Origin Energy appeared on his body and permeated the surface of his body. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to notice it.
This bit of Origin Energy drew upon the energy of heaven and earth, converging into two ancient mammoth silhouettes.
First level of the Core Formation stage!
It was also Duan Lingtian's current cultivation.
"First level of the Core Formation stage?"
Not only was the black-robed old man stunned when he saw the strange phenomenon above Duan Lingtian's head, but even the Nangong brothers were dumbfounded.
How was this possible?!
Nangong and his brother were in disbelief. They could not believe that everything in front of them was real.
However, the truth was right before their eyes. They had no choice but to believe it.
When a martial artist makes a move, even if it was only a trace of Origin Energy, it would be able to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth and condense a phenomenon that corresponded to their cultivation.
Now, Duan Lingtian's Origin Energy suffused the surface of his body and drew upon the energy of heaven and earth to condense into two ancient mammoth silhouettes. This undoubtedly indicated his current cultivation.
First level of the Core Formation stage.
However, in their memories, it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to be a first level Core Formation martial artist no matter what.
A first level Core Formation martial artist shouldn't appear here.
"Ant!"
In a flash of lightning, the black-robed old man's face was filled with ridicule and contempt. The palm strike that struck towards Duan Lingtian finally landed on Duan Lingtian's body.
Bang!!
A deafening explosion sounded out.
Accompanying the explosion were waves of rolling airwaves. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into gusts of raging gales that caused the surrounding rubble to swirl into the air.
When the explosion sounded out, the expressions of Nangong and his brother were extremely unsightly.
Although they didn't know why Duan Lingtian only had a cultivation at the first level of the Core Formation stage, when they thought about how Duan Lingtian had to face the full force strike of a seventh level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist with such a cultivation, they didn't think that Duan Lingtian would be able to survive.
However, the bloody scene that they expected didn't appear.
The scene before them caused the expressions of Nangong and his brother to abruptly change. In the end, it became extremely interesting.
They saw the violet-clothed Duan Lingtian standing there. Unknowingly, a five-colored light barrier had appeared on his body, and the light barrier emitted waves of fierce aura.
As for the black-robed old man's palm, it was tightly pressed against the five-colored light barrier that had appeared on Duan Lingtian's body. Waves of vast energy gushed out, and it seemed as if it would never stop.
However, every time the vast energy attacked, it wasn't able to leave the slightest mark on the five-colored light barrier.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
…
At this moment, with the black-robed old man's feet as the center, numerous savage cracks spread out. They were densely packed together, and it was as if they had formed an enormous spider web.
The cracks continued to spread, and it continued to spread out over tens of meters before stopping.
On the other hand, the ground beneath Duan Lingtian's feet was flat, and it wasn't damaged in the slightest.
The difference between the two of them was obvious!
"You …."
Just when the black-robed old man's eyes were filled with terror and he wanted to say something, his pupils that were enveloped under his black robe abruptly constricted.
It was because he saw the phenomenon of heaven and earth that appeared in the sky above Duan Lingtian.
Five ancient black dragon silhouettes spiraled down as they looked down upon the heavens and earth.
Beside them, the two ancient mammoth silhouettes seemed so tiny.
"Hmph!"
At the same time, the black-robed old man groaned in pain.
The five-colored light barrier on Duan Lingtian's body suddenly expanded, and it instantly enveloped the black-robed old man's hand that had struck out, twisting it apart and causing blood to drip out.
"So what if you're an ant? I can still trample you under my feet! "
Duan Lingtian's indifferent voice rang out, and then he casually threw out a punch. The vast five-colored energy turned into the shape of a sword in the blink of an eye, and ruthlessly landed on the black-robed old man's lower abdomen.
Bang!!
A loud sound was heard, as if a balloon had burst.
The black-robed old man's Dantian continued to release waves of rolling Origin Energy, and in the end, it disappeared without a trace.
"You … You destroyed my Dantian!!"
The black-robed old man, who was sent flying by Duan Lingtian, had a drastic change in expression. His eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Duan Lingtian, as if he couldn't wait to cut Duan Lingtian into pieces.
Boom!
The black-robed old man, who was sent flying like an arrow, finally landed heavily on the ground and struggled to get up.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past, and a figure appeared in the air before him. It was a purple figure.
Duan Lingtian had rushed to the black-robed old man's side at his fastest speed. He lifted his leg and stomped on the black-robed old man's chest, sending him back to the ground.
"Five … Five Ancient Black Dragons' strength?"
After a while, Nangong Yi finally turned around. He swallowed his saliva and looked at the purple figure in front of him in disbelief.
At that moment, he only felt that the purple figure was so tall.
Nangong Chen was shocked as well. His face, which had been cold all along, couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
The purple-robed young man, whose strength was above them back then, was actually above them after they had had a fortuitous encounter?
"It seems that his fortuitous encounter is even more exaggerated."
At that moment, Nangong Chen only had that thought in his mind. He had originally thought that his fortuitous encounter was already exaggerated enough, but he had never expected that he couldn't compare to the purple-robed young man before him.
"I'll leave him to you guys."
Duan Lingtian stepped on the black-robed old man. Five-colored energy continued to surge out from his feet and shattered the energy that rose from the black-robed old man's body.
Although the black-robed old man's Dantian was destroyed, the Profundity that he had comprehended was still there.
Upon hearing that, Nangong Yi's eyes lit up. He flew to the front of Duan Lingtian and looked down at the black-robed old man. He sneered, "Xue Gui, I can't believe that you'll have such a day."
"Nangong Yi, ask him to let me go … I'm willing to give you everything that I obtained from that place. I don't have my cultivation base now, so I'm no longer a threat to you. "
The black-robed old man was being stepped on by Duan Lingtian. He was a little out of breath as he begged with great difficulty.
"Wouldn't those things be mine after I kill you?"
Nangong Yi smirked in disdain. Then, under the black-robed old man's desperate gaze, he landed his palm and ended his life.
Subsequently, Nangong Yi put away the black-robed old man's Spatial Ring and Profundity Fragment before passing them to Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, thank you. If it wasn't for you today, Nangong Chen and I would have died for sure. "
Duan Lingtian did not stand on ceremony as he put away the Spatial Ring and Profundity Fragment. He nodded nonchalantly and asked, "How much do you guys know about me?"
"Let's find a restaurant and sit down before we talk."
Nangong Yi suggested.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
After a while, the two brothers, Duan Lingtian and Nangong, walked into a restaurant together. They asked for a private room on the second floor and sat around a table.
"Actually, we don't know much about you either."
After they sat down, Nangong Yi said, "Back then, we met in the Five Element Sect. At that time, you …"
Nangong Yi patiently told Duan Lingtian everything he did when he was still in the Five Element Sect.
"Do you have any recollection of these?"
In the end, Nangong Yi asked.
"I can't remember."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
No matter if it was the Wood Peak, the Wood Peak elders, or even the Peak Master of the Wood Peak, he could not remember at all.
"After that, we left the Five Element Sect with the Sect Leader and headed to the Emperor Wu's secret treasure. There, you obtained the Profundity Fragment and handed it over to the sect."
Nangong Yi continued.
"After the battle at the Emperor Wu's secret treasure, you didn't return with us. Instead, you left with your friends … I think you went back to your hometown."
Nangong Yi continued.
"Hometown?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up. "You know where my hometown is?"
"I don't know."
Nangong Yi shook his head, causing Duan Lingtian's eyes to dim once again. He originally thought he could follow the clues from his hometown and find out everything about him.
"Why did you lose your memory?"
Nangong Chen who had not spoken since the beginning finally spoke.
"I'm not too sure either … It seems like my soul was injured."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. He had only found out about the reason his soul was injured from Wang Ba. He could not recall it for now.
"Kid, what's the hurry? With the recovery speed of your soul, it'll recover to its original state in a year at most … At that time, you'll naturally know everything you want to know. "
